Due to phase variation, there are fluctuations in expression levels of certain enzymes in bacteria, therefore, not all colonies or cells make the same structure of lipid A species. A micro-extraction method for extraction of lipid A from a single colony has been developed (Zhou et al., 2009). This method uses microwave-assisted enzymatic digestion and sodium acetate hydrolysis, suitable to analyze lipid A from both cell samples and an individual colony. Because the clean up of SDS is very time-consuming, and the contaminated SDS would seriously interfere with the analysis by mass spectrometry, the proteinase K, instead of SDS, is used to disrupt the cells. Using this method, the entire process for lipid A preparation only takes about 2 h with a detection limit to 1 (xg. 

One of the most interesting fields of application of MAE in food analysis is the extraction of lipids. This step, traditionally performed with conventional Soxhlet extraction, has been performed with the focused microwave-assisted Soxhlet extractor prototype of Figure 2B. Extraction of oil from olives, srm-flower seeds, and soyabeans extraction of the lipid fraction of dairy products (milk and cheese) and extraction of fatty acids from precooked and sausage foods have significant advantages over conventional methods, including dramatically reduced extraction times, lower degradation of thermolabile analytes, and acceleration of other analytical steps such as hydrolysis in milk samples, in addition to completeness of analyte extraction, which is not always achieved with conventional methods.
